02x13 - Shin no Yuusha

[bunniefuu]

Finally back here.

Did she fall from up here?

She…

She might be in trouble
if we don't save her.

But

going down there is basically suicide.

I'll go.

I have to finish this myself.

Otherwise, this battle will never end.

I understand.

Then go ahead, Princess.

Once I drive you out of
the world within the mirror…

The strongest updraft!

Followed by…

Mirror Storm!

Using mirrors against me?
Don't make me laugh.

Backstage Princess.

Even without my memories,

my power and practiced skills
don't disappear.

This trial

is meant to awaken the power
sleeping within my soul.

This power isn't given to me
by anyone else.

This power belongs to me.

Shut up.

You don't have any power.

Flank her from behind!

Do not hesitate. Do not doubt.

Believe in yourself.

Pour your will into your sword.

Plant your feet firmly on the ground.

Channel that energy through your body.

What?

This is the essence of the swordsmanship
my father and my companions taught me.

In other words…

Courage.

A second rune on her face?

Impossible… This is impossible.

Enough. I'll annihilate you.

I won't leave a trace
of your soul or body!

This can't be.

Shoryu!

Darn it.

I'll k*ll you! I'll k*ll you!

Sorry,

but it looks like I won't be the one
to finish this with you.

You are.

I always knew.

I knew there was
a dark, brutal side to me.

Those feelings aren't fit for a princess,

so I kept them locked away in my heart.

That vulgar yet childish outfit,

and the urge to stomp over people.

They're all my deepest desires.

Shut up! I'm nothing like you!

You are!

"People should live with integrity" is a concept
I've always wanted to reject.

The one reflected in the mirror is me.

And there's no one here…

but me.

Stop!

Hey, how is she?

How's the princess?

She just passed out.

The question is when she wakes up,

which personality will be in control?

The Backstage Princess
might be the one to wake up.

Which one is it?

The hidden one? Or the public one?

Thank you all for your help.

I'm finally free now.

How wonderful it feels to be free.

Especially you two.

I really like you both.

Come to my room tomorrow night.

I'll make sure to step all over you.

Huh?

What's with this princess?

Is she the hidden one?

I don't really have
a public or hidden side anymore.

I was just teasing you guys.

I'm still the same person you know.

Thank you, truly.

You've merged both sides
and gone totally wild?

But this is the real me.

I must thank you too, Hero Alicia.

I really caused you a ton of trouble.

It's not your fault.

The one to blame
is whoever orchestrated all of this.

The Lord of Dark Beasts, Vordin.

Let's go defeat him

and bring the truth to light.

Good, we're back in the original world.

What's that?

The northern sea…

Is that the Capital of Toah?

Clen must be over there.

Princess.

Can you open a mirror
that leads to that island?

Sure.

You two stay here and protect her.

Hey!

Hot!
- Darn it.

What the…

Clen.

Hey, can you hear me, Clen?

Aren't you supposed to witness
Luna and the human race's growth?

If you die,

I, who live by your dark ichor,
will die too.

Wave of Agony.

Full concentration.

Singular Dragonfly:

Ultimate Form.

Out of my way.

Fake hero.

A fake hero?

It seems we have
disparate perceptions of heroes.

A hero is someone
who pushes forward despite failure,

who constantly expands their world.

Compared to that,

the hero you speak of

is just a puppet with power.

It's only natural that he died.

Because they were puppets
of the Undying Toah.

No.

Those people of Toah
were probably all puppets too.

That's why he k*lled them all.

Having lost all puppets,

Toah had to flee to the bottom of the sea.

But you want to revive
one of those puppets.

How utterly foolish.

Shut up.

Clen!

You have forgotten something, Vordin.

I can manipulate the shadows.

And this place is outside
the audience chamber.

You lose

because you talk way too much.

Before your next incarnation pops up,
learn how to keep it short.

Great.

From where I stand,
they're both nearly dead.

The next strike will be the last…

Hey, get up, Eddy.

Though my time with you was short,

I had a really great time.

Rath… Why are you…

What? Why?

Disgusting.

Rath!

You're… Yeah.

You're a Suradan sl*ve, aren't you?

Why can you still speak?

I should have consumed
that function of yours already.

Consumed?

Who are you?

I am Toah.

In the sky…

What is that?

The Capital of Toah…

It's floating?

That light is…

The light of Toah's domain.

It looks like Toah has awakened after all.

Write.

That thing must not exist.

Whatever it really is,

it's something
that must never be released.

I will destroy it right here.

Stop, Clevatess. Wait!

I have something to say to him.

Step aside.

Stay out of my way, Vordin.

Shut up. He and I…

Write and I…

There's something I have to tell him.

Write!

Wri…

Write…

Fool.

You ended up like that
because you didn't look closely into his eyes.

I am Clevatess of the Moonlight.

Remember that name
and return to nothingness.

Clevatess…

Do it!

Clen!

No. The time isn't right yet.

Did he get away?

Your body is far too massive.

Your rebirth will have to take a while.

I hope you can shed
those pointless memories next time.

See you, Vordin.

Toah has vanished without a trace again.

But since Toah has awakened,

it should make a move soon.

We absolutely cannot miss any sign of Toah.
Not a single one.

What's the situation now?

What is that?

Hero Alicia?

Ow…

Don't tell me
you flew here from that island?

No, I didn't fly. I was thrown off of it.

Clen, that jerk.

No idea what you're saying.

So, is it over?

Yeah.

Hey!

Is that…

Edison?

Oh, crap.

We completely forgot about him.

Ask that guy for the whole story.

You…

When did you get here?

Are you the Dean?

Y-Yes.

He knows I'm the Dean, and he ignored me?

Clen, where are you going?

I'm going back to Luna.

I have a promise to keep with him.

As for human matters,
discuss them among yourselves.

Figure out your next steps.

Is he washing his hands of this?

Alicia.

You did very well.

Takiwari?

It's my Takiwari! Clen…

Geez.

The long night in Solsein
has finally seen the dawn.

The thick fog that once shrouded
the old Village of Origin has now lifted.

The time for all secrets
to be revealed is at hand.

Toah once enslaved your human ancestors.

The reason I have been so tolerant of you

is that Toah is our common enemy.

But if you choose to
become sl*ves to Toah,

and willingly act as its minions,

I will not hesitate
to k*ll every last one of you.

Keep that in mind.

With those words,

Zavtier, the Western Lord of Dark Beasts,
departed.

Are… Are you okay, Sarasa?

Yeah… I'm starving.

While Zavtier, Lord of Dark Beasts,
is a reliable ally right now,

she could become an enemy
based on our actions.

Princess Milea, please.

Okay.

Using the power of Solsein's domain,

Princess Milea erased the day's memories
from everyone who was unconscious.

She also restored the Trial Shrine
that had appeared to its original state.

Vice Dean…

Oh? Mr. Feiss?

Thank goodness you're safe.

What am I doing in this place?

"The Dean's true identity
is Princess Milea."

The Princess also erased
that memory from all the unconscious.

It feels like
I'm just covering up my own sins.

I feel a bit guilty.

If people found out
you were the mastermind behind this,

a w*r would break out.

This is the most appropriate way
to handle it.

Yes.

Besides, you are
an indispensable asset in battle, Princess.

We may very well face battles ahead.

What does that look like to you, Gart?

Just an ordinary island, Rhode Royes.

I see.

That's…

Miss, did you see something?

An island has appeared
in the northern sea.

An island?

For some reason,
I have a really bad feeling about this.

Miss.

Do you have to overreact like that?

You startled me!

And why did you change back
to your original form?

Who is she?

No idea.

Naie, didn't we agree?

If I found the Chamber of Secrets,

I'd let you know first.

T-That's right.
I have to report this to the Emperor.

Did you find it?

I did.

If you go through the mirror,
you'll reach the island you just saw.

The island… That island?

It's the ruins of an ancient civilization.

That's the truth
behind the Chamber of Secrets.

I see.

Can I take the credit for this?

Sure.

The mastermind Dean is dead,

and the imprisoned princess
has been rescued.

Don't forget to report that as well.

Got it.

I can finally go back proudly!

Farewell, kiddos.

I don't actually hate you, you know.

Miss flew away.

This will do.

As long as they know
the Chamber of Secrets is on that island,

they will send the military there.

This place won't become a b*ttlefield.

And the students can be spared.

Um…

So, who are you, Miss?

I'm Alicia.

Hero Alicia.

Clen actually revealed his true form
in front of Naie and Ray.

And since Merry Merry was nearby,
she found out about it too.

Now, the people
who know Clen's true identity

are me, those three,

the Princess, Sarasa, and Edison.

I was careful not to let the twins notice,

and I bet Neruru
hasn't found out yet either.

And then there's Luna.

Having more allies is a good thing.

It's way better than being alone.

That's a relief.

Your Majesty.

Hey.

Why are you still here?

Didn't I order you to enter Solsein immediately
if anything strange happened?

That… That order hasn't…

What?

Where's Jazhak?

Where is that bandit leader?

Well…

He disappeared without anyone noticing.

Find him immediately.

Rhode will definitely
figure out my intentions.

It'll be fine.

Though we had some trouble along the way,

it looks like everything ended well.

Alright, let's head back.

I'll ask Neruru to brew me
a hot cup of coffee.

I wonder how everyone's been doing.

Are they waiting for me to come back?

I have so much I want to tell them.

Oh, right. Clen…

He made some kind of promise with Luna.

I can't believe he'd make a promise
to 'inferior' humans.

He's really mellowed out.

So why can't he be gentler with me?

The sky is so clear.

Suddenly it went dark.

I couldn't even tell up from down.

I lost all sensation.

All the blood in my body…

Hey.

Don't tell me… Cl…

Clen…

I have no clue

where on earth those two went.

What? Is he here again?

Everyone's being so good.

No abnormalities, right?

If you have any trouble, come find me.

He must be trying, as King,

to protect this place
while Clevatess is away.

Luna.

No more licking.
